i had a minor accident with the bike about a month ago and have just got around to fixing it. i have very minimal damage and have bought replacement parts for every thing but the front fairing. it had a small crack in it and took it to a few body shops who refused to touch it then one said 390 dollars to repair it and another said you cant repair motorcycle fairings at all. So where can i get a new fairing or can i fix this?

 

That's a really easy fix. Here's a link:

Fixing your own bike builds character.

 

It builds character and keeps $300+ in your pocket....

 

The "Plastic Weld" epoxy is what I used to repair the tail section on my bike too, after I'd made the big cutouts for the Givi Mounts. Filled in the 6" x 10" hole with a shaped piece of ABS plastic bought at the same plastic shop, helped support the inside joint with 1" fiberglass tape. It worked great, easy to use, sanded nicely.[/align][/align]Had the same results asking body shops to paint it - no one wanted to touch it, finally got an estimate of $300. All I wanted was black! So I took it on myself, and got all kinds of new respect for folks who can sand for longer than I can....some finished pics are in an F1 thread re: hard bags not that long ago, you can see I DON'T have a new career as a body-work specialist in my future. :' )[/align][/align]Couldn't get a shiny finish, so settled for matte black and then did a rattle can silver leopard print on the back top part.....lowered my expectations til I was happy with it - haha! [/align][/align]I use my bike for running errands, the Givi bags are on it most of the time, it's all good.[/align][/align]-Susan[/align]'04F4i[/align]
